We currently have a stray in the garage. My mom is sleeping out there tonight to keep the dog company. In the meantime, our two Queenslands won't calm down. Missy, the female, won't leave me alone, and Max is by her side. Emma, our rat terrier, doesn't give a shit either way, so she's in my parent's room, sleeping. They're never up at this time of night. The stray is a lab mix, but we think someone owns him. He's fixed, with clipped nails, and he's clean. He wasn't starving for food when he came up our driveway. My mom called a woman who had been looking for a lab mix, but she had already found her dogs. At the same time, she recalled a woman who had lost her dog a few days back. We came to learn that that woman is Deaf, and that her dog was a service dog. I tried signing to him to see if it was true, but I'm not sure. He reacted to the universal sign for sit, and he seems to react if I simply place my hand on top of him. We are keeping him over night in hopes of contact in the morning. At least I'm able to sleep in.
I graduated from CSUN about a week and a half ago, on May 21, 2009, with my BA in Deaf Studies. If I care enough, I might post pictures. I was decked out in many sashes and some honors medals. It was the shortest graduation ceremony ever! The Deaf Studies class finished first, and the entire ceremony was a little under 1 1/2 hours. All of my friends came out to support me, except Michael - he's in the army, obviously. I'll never forget it. All of us were sitting in a designated section, next to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing attendees. Applause sprang wildly in the hair - 100+ people. It was unbelievable. I will never find a place like CSUN, that's for sure.
This week, I've been working. I worked at some point everyday from Tuesday - Sunday. Tuesday, I was subbing for someone from GCC, for their class, then later that afternoon, I was Interpreting at a NAFSA conference. Only problem was, no Deaf showed up, and it was at the LA Convention Center. Oh well, I was paid for it anyway. On Wednesday, I had my standard Office Assistant job. Thursday was the conference again, and still no Deaf. Friday was the Office Assistant job. This past weekend was Sarah and I Interpreting 2 traffic school courses. They're $75 each. I swear, I'm becoming CHA BIG HEADED ("wicked knowledgeable") about that topic. It's tiring, though. Driving from Palmdale to the Inland Empire? It's a little over an hour, but it feels like it'll never end at times. I'm just happy that tomorrow I can finally sleep in instead of having to get up and work.
In the meantime, I'm really trying to get my life on track. I'm trying to start reading again and doing things around the house. I have to start helping my parents get ready to move, whenever that may be. I have stuff in my room that can be packed. Otherwise, I'm hanging out with people and driving around. Life is life. It comes and it goes and it changes or it doesn't.
I'm way too tired to think right now. I'm veggie-tired. Good night.

My last true confession will open your eyes
I've never known trust like 'the nine'
Let it be spoken, let it be screamed, they'll never ever take us alive.
Til we die
